Rolls-Royce Power Systems is growing rapidly: Hundreds of new jobs in Germany!

Friedrichshafen, August 10, 2025 – The engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce Power Systems (RRPS) is making a name for itself in the first half of 2025. With an impressive jump in sales of 20 percent to 2.4 billion euros compared to the previous year, the company is clearly positioning itself in the growth area and is a real job driver. In the coming months, hundreds of positions will be filled not only in Germany but also internationally. Buyers of RRPS are particularly benefiting from the boom in the defense industry, especially in the energy and government sector, as [Merku](https://www.merkur.de/wirtschaft/zweistellenes- Growth-deutscher-motorenbauer-schafft-hunde-stellen-in-deutschland-93870189.html) reports.

HRPS, under the umbrella of London-based Rolls-Royce Holdings, currently has more than 10,500 employees. While the crane is moving to increase capacity, an operational update is also announced: the headquarters in Friedrichshafen is to be modernized with a new assembly line for the mtu 4000 series by mid-2026. RRPS is also investing heavily in new engine platforms and technologies as well as in converting its plants. It's clear: demand is high and the order books are full.

Thriving business in the defense industry

But what are the tools behind this business success? In addition to the strong numbers, the strategic focus on the energy supply of data centers and the government business, including military applications, is a key factor. Most recently, RRPS has won significant contracts, including the largest order for battery storage systems for a Lithuanian energy supplier and a contract extension with Italian yacht manufacturer Sanlorenzo, according to MTU.

In a dynamically changing global climate, the defense industry in Germany has grown significantly in recent months. The demand for weapons systems and equipment has increased, especially since the geopolitical changes. The industry is facing challenges from new technologies and cyber attacks, while at the same time production figures in weapons and ammunition production in Germany have increased from less than 2.4 billion euros in 2020 to over 4 billion euros, as Statista notes.

The strategic investments made by RRPS are clearly on trend: While global military spending is constantly increasing, for companies in the sector it is not just about pure numbers, but also about the future potential associated with the latest technology. The skilled workers being hired now are the backbone of this innovation, and the company has evidence of continued demand with its record order backlog.

A look forward

So it remains to be said: RRPS is well positioned and is showing healthy growth. The outlook for the coming years is positive, which gives us hope that the innovative strength and investments will continue to create value in the region. While the headquarters in Friedrichshafen is being modernized, new engine platforms are already being worked on in the background, which are expected to be on the market from 2028. This not only creates new jobs, but we also experience the diversity and flexibility of the industry in the challenges of the future.
